Galaterne 2
1 Senere, efter fjorten Års Forløb, drog jeg atter op til Jerusalem med Brnabas og tog også Titus med.
Then, after fourteen years again I went up to Jerusalem with Barnabas, having taken with me also Titus;
2 Men jeg drog op ifølge en Åbenbaring og forelagde dem, men særskilt de ansete, det Evangelium, som jeg prædiker iblandt Hedningerne, - om jeg vel løber eller har løbet forgæves.
and I went up by revelation, and did submit to them the good news that I preach among the nations, and privately to those esteemed, lest in vain I might run or did run;
3 Men end ikke min Ledsager, Titus, som var en Græker, blev tvungen til at omskæres,
but not even Titus, who [is] with me, being a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised —
4 nemlig for de indsnegne falske Brødres Skyld, som jo havde listet sig ind for at lure på vor Frihed, som vi have i Kristus Jesus, for at de kunde gøre os til Trælle.
and [that] because of the false brethren brought in unawares, who did come in privily to spy out our liberty that we have in Christ Jesus, that us they might bring under bondage,
5 For dem vege vi end ikke et Øjeblik i Eftergivenhed, for at Evangeliets Sandhed måtte blive varig hos eder.
to whom not even for an hour we gave place by subjection, that the truth of the good news might remain to you.
6 Men fra deres Side, som ansås for at være noget, (hvordan de fordum vare, er mig uden Forskel; Gud ser ikke på et Menneskes Person; ) - over for mig nemlig havde de ansete intet at tilføje.
And from those who were esteemed to be something — whatever they were then, it maketh no difference to me — the face of man God accepteth not, for — to me those esteemed did add nothing,
7 Men tværtimod, da de så, at jeg har fået Evangeliet til de uomskårne betroet, ligesom Peter til de omskårne,
but, on the contrary, having seen that I have been entrusted with the good news of the uncircumcision, as Peter with [that] of the circumcision,
8 (thi han, som gav Peter Kraft til Apostelgerning for de omskårne, gav også mig Kaft dertil for Hedningerne; )
for He who did work with Peter to the apostleship of the circumcision, did work also in me in regard to the nations,
9 og da de lærte den mig givne Nåde at kende, gave Jakob og Kefas og Johannes, som ansås for at være Søjler, mig og Barnabas Samfundshånd for at vi skulde gå til Hedningerne og de til de omskårne;
and having known the grace that was given to me, James, and Cephas, and John, who were esteemed to be pillars, a right hand of fellowship they did give to me, and to Barnabas, that we to the nations, and they to the circumcision [may go],
10 kun at vi skulde komme de fattige i Hu, hvad jeg også just har bestræbt mig for at gøre.
only, of the poor that we should be mindful, which also I was diligent — this very thing — to do.
11 Men da Kefas kom til Antiokia, trådte jeg op imod ham for hans åbne Øjne, thi domfældt var han.
And when Peter came to Antioch, to the face I stood up against him, because he was blameworthy,
12 Thi førend der kom nogle fra Jakob, spiste han sammen med Hedningerne; men da de kom, trak han sig tilbage og skilte sig fra dem af Frygt for dem af Omskærelsen.
for before the coming of certain from James, with the nations he was eating, and when they came, he was withdrawing and separating himself, fearing those of the circumcision,
13 Og med ham hyklede også de øvrige Jøder, så at endog Barnabas blev dragen med af deres Hykleri.
and dissemble with him also did the other Jews, so that also Barnabas was carried away by their dissimulation.
14 Men da jeg så, at de ikke vandrede rettelig efter Evangeliets Sandhed, sagde jeg til Kefas i alles Påhør: Når du, som er en Jøde, lever på hedensk og ikke på jødisk Vis, hvor kan du da tvinge Hedningerne til at opføre sig som Jøder?
But when I saw that they are not walking uprightly to the truth of the good news, I said to Peter before all, 'If thou, being a Jew, in the manner of the nations dost live, and not in the manner of the Jews, how the nations dost thou compel to Judaize?
15 Vi ere af Natur Jøder og ikke Syndere af hedensk Byrd;
we by nature Jews, and not sinners of the nations,
16 men da vi vide, at et Menneske ikke bliver retfærdiggjort af Lovens Gerninger, men kun ved Tro på Jesus Kristus, så have også vi troet på Kristus Jesus, for at vi måtte blive retfærdiggjorte al Tro på Kristus og ikke af Lovens Gerninger; thi af Lovens Geringer skal intet Kød blive retfærdiggjort.
having known also that a man is not declared righteous by works of law, if not through the faith of Jesus Christ, also we in Christ Jesus did believe, that we might be declared righteous by the faith of Christ, and not by works of law, wherefore declared righteous by works of law shall be no flesh.'
17 Men når vi, idet vi søgte at blive retfærdiggjorte i Kristus, også selv fandtes at være Syndere, så er jo Kristus en Tjener for Synd? Det være langtfra!
And if, seeking to be declared righteous in Christ, we ourselves also were found sinners, [is] then Christ a ministrant of sin? let it not be!
18 når jeg nemlig igen bygger det op, som jeg nedbrød, da viser jeg mig selv som Overtræder.
for if the things I threw down, these again I build up, a transgressor I set myself forth;
19 Thi jeg er ved Loven død fra Loven, for at jeg skal leve for Gud.
for I through law, did die, that to God I may live;
20 Med Kristus er jeg korsfæstet, og det er ikke mere mig, der lever, men Kristus lever i mig; men hvad jeg nu lever, i Kødet, det lever jeg i Troen, på Guds Søn, som elskede mig og gav sig selv hen for mig.
with Christ I have been crucified, and live no more do I, and Christ doth live in me; and that which I now live in the flesh — in the faith I live of the Son of God, who did love me and did give himself for me;
21 Jeg ophæver ikke Guds Nåde; thi er der Retfærdighed ved Loven, da er jo Kristus død forgæves.
I do not make void the grace of God, for if righteousness [be] through law — then Christ died in vain.
